I'm tentatively scheduled for RNY on July 2, so I'll be quietly lurking in the shadows on this group. I can be like the a very distant cousin in your little family LOL

I'm a teacher, so my bariatric team knew that I wanted a summer surgery. I'll be done with all of my requirements Monday April 29, so I'm a little ahead of the game.

Good luck to us all!

Your surgery day is my birthday!!!! Haha. I'm glad you decided to hang out in our little group. Maybe you will get lucky and get moved up! What grade do you teach?

Thank you!

Thats a good idea, I should start prepping to. I also plan on clearing all of my cupboards out!

My private surgeon (I’m in the UK), is putting me on ‘the milk diet’ for 2 weeks prior to surgery.

I keep starting to clean out my cabinets but then I get side tracked lol. Between my 3 kids and being so nervous I find a million other things I need to do lol. I've heard of the milk diet and I do not envy you for that lol. I am stocking up on sugar free Jello so that I will have some texture.

Crossing fingers that I will have a June surgery! Had a check in with the surgeons office yesterday and I have one more PCP appointment before we submit to insurance but they are thinking end of June, early July. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Yay!! Time flies by so fast and pretty sure we will all be on the losers bench :)

I got my approval today and my surgery date is June 3 and I am so excited. I wanted a May date but oh well at least I got an approval. I was sleeved in 2015 however it was unsuccessful. I am determined for this bypass to work. I wanted the bypass the first time but the surgeon suggested the sleeve. This is the last and final time can’t get another revision after this but I wouldn’t one another one.

Congrats! My new date for revsion is now 6/14. Which is funny because my sleeve was on a Friday too! How long did it take for your approval?

My offical insurance approval is not in yet. However, this no longer worries me! I have some pending other possible options.

Good Evening Ladies,

‘I am new to the WLS forum. After 6 months or so, I have finally received my surgery date which is June 3. I have been trying to make my mind up for about 8 years and am ready to get this thing done. I’ve had all the tests completed and everything was fine except for an abnormal ecg. When I visit my doctor on the 13th for the final clearance, I am crossing my fingers everything will come out ok. So if you don’t mind another June surgery buddy...... I would love to tag along. Btw, I love the pumpkins too..😃

Hi everyone, my date was June 3rd, but I was bumped up to May 24th. I’m a bit nervous, but excited at the same time. I am a mother of 2 children, happily married, living in Florida. I’m done with all my pre-op tests, diets, and happy to start my new life soon! I will keep all posted!

Hi all- I have a surgery date of June 12th. I am 46 years old and have spent most of my life overweight. I have done every diet known and was fortunate one time with WW I was successful- 130 pounds in 2 years. I remember the joy I felt, how attractive I felt, I didn’t mind taking pictures and then I quit smoking (9 years ago on June 10). I lost my sister, my children’s father and my mother in that time, I have had surgery on one foot and have developed an issue with the other. I have gained 85 lbs back (down 25 since this journey began last summer). I am just done just watching life happen while others live it. That is all on me I know, I do not blame anyone for the situation I am in, I love food and have a giant sweet tooth. I am going to be a Grandma for the first time in july (she is due on my Moms birthday) I want to be the kind of grandma she was to my boys. My husband and children are so dedicated and excited for me, I am so lucky to have them. I noticed the other day I said to myself I like you, lol some people may not get the humor in that but I sure did. I know that it will be a long road and I will have setbacks and bad days. No hope to meet some others who are like me ❤️

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
